Dialogue 3
M: Most of our customers are foreigners. How many foreign languages
can you speak, Elizabeth?
W: Two. French and Spanish.
M: And how well can you speak them?
W: Well, French was my best subject at school. I can read and write
it pretty well.
M: And how about your Spanish?
W: Well, it's not as good as my French. I can speak it reasonably
well, but my written Spanish isn't very good.
M: I see. Well, we have a lot of Spanish customers, but you
wouldn't need to write any Spanish here.

iron. Indeed, as Sally puts it, he is a good husband.
